I wonder if location prompts would be more effective if, instead of asking "Allow 'Example App' to access your location while you are using the app?", they explicitly state "'Example App' would like to know precisely where you are. Would you like to share your exact location?". I feel like those adjectives, "precisely" and "exact", would go a long way toward encouraging people to put more thought into the decision. Similar wording could be used for other permissions, maybe in conjunction with a one-or-two-second timer on the buttons.
- jasonshaev 6y agoThis is a neat idea. Also, many apps don't need your EXACT location, just something like a zip code for convenience. AFAIK there is no mechanism for an App to request permissions to get a "rough" idea of where you are as opposed to a precise location
- mercer 6y agoThe new iOS will have that feature though, IIRC.
